The Danish queen Margrethe II
joined Giraffs Without Borders on a scientific expedition to count the
free-living giraffes in Denmark. It is of utmost importance to control the
size of the giraffe-population since giraffes are a very endangered species
in Denmark.

A comment from Margrethe:

"I am very proud to be able to help Giraffes
Without Borders with their work. This will help all giraffes in Denmark."

Counting giraffes is extremely
difficult because they are able to change color according to the
environment. GWB usually spend the counting-days in a tower like the one on
the picture below. We eat chocolate biscuits and drink tea while we count
all the passing giraffes. Counting-days are very exciting and full of
action.

Director Trine was succesfully
leading the counting this year.

Count: 1 giraffe (it might have
been the one we brought though because she had left the tower on time of the
sighting), 2 round footprints (possibly from a giraffe), 3 squirrels (one of
them had a spot), a bird with a long neck (possibly a giraffe in disguise),
1 tree that looked a bit but not entirely like the neck of a giraffe.
